Michael Savage is known for incendiary talk radio. He targets liberals generally and other people who are gay, immigrants, poor, or are otherwise unfit in his view. Britain has banned him from entering the country. Is this a freedom of speech issue.

Ed Schultz taking a little vacation? Has the word “slut” reared its ugly head once again?

Ed Schultz, known for his outspoken talk radio (as distinguished from incendiary), recently referred to Laura Ingraham as a whore. He was suspended from his TV show on MSNBC for a week. Is this a freedom of speech issue?

Is it ok for women to use the word (i.e. the Slutwalk) and men to be prevented from doing so? Is this a generational thing?

And what about other words, like the N-word. Why is the N-word banned from most of society and the word slut isn’t?

Join me and my producer Aaron Donchin, as we discuss some of this week’s latest talk radio silliness, only on AM 1510, The Revolution Boston andwww.samanthaclemens.com.

The economy:

If you reduce taxes to nothing, will the economy grow infinitely? Jared Bernstein will explain why this is just not so, regardless of what he calls the NASTIE’s say (Never-A-Stinkin’-Tax-Increase-Ever!). What Dems AND Repubs have to come to grips with.

Storming the moat! The JP Morgan Chase office in Columbus, Ohio is surrounded by a moat. Liz Ryan Murray will explain why folks dressed up as Robin Hood, stormed the castle, and demanded to let others stay in their’s.

What’s up with Canada? Canadian elections were a few weeks ago and the Conservatives did far better than expected. We’ll talk to CHUM radio-Ottawa managing editor John Brenner as he gives us the low-down from north of the border.

Also…

Do you trust your bank? Are you angry that the big banks have taken America for a ride? We’ll speak with Essex County Southern District (Salem) Registrar of Deeds John O’Brien. He’ll talk about what his district is doing to combat mortgage fraud by Bank of America.

Can a feminist wear the Niqab and/or a Burka? Should we judge a woman who was raped by the skimpiness of her clothing? Should the government control what happens inside a woman’s body? How far have women come in America and how do they compare with women in other countries? Should we judge societies by how they treat women? Poor women? Is the separation of women and men in Islamic countries gender apartheid, or analogous to the Elks Club and ladies auxiliary??

Hadear will join us to talk about Muslim feminists, our perceptions of Muslim women, their perceptions of us, what progress women are making in Islamic countries. We’ll have a look at how status of women varies around the world.

Robin will join us to talk about her novel, My Name is Mary Sutter, the story of one woman who starts out as a midwife and yearns to become a surgeon. Since this was an unlikely occupation for a woman in the mid-1800′s, she was rejected time and again from medical school and eventually answers the call of reformer Dorothea Dix to become a nurse just as the Civil War is beginning. She was at first even turned down for that because of the strict social regulations of the time for women and men.

How much progress have women made since the Civil War? How many women around the world live today like Mary Sutter? And, is American society backsliding with the recent legislation proposed by the Republican dominated House of Representatives?
